"We've played our best baseball of the season against them," Morales told The Register-Guard of Eugene. "I thought the difference has been beating them on their home field the first night. It gave us a lot of confidence - more than we've had all season - and we've played like it the past two nights."

Morales stayed managing in the minors through 1982. He then became a scout for the White Sox. In 1986, Morales served as a bullpen coach for the Braves.

In 1988, he was back in the minors as a manager at AA Vermont, then AAA Calgary in 1989. In 1990, he was at AA Williamsport watching over future major leaguer Rich DeLucia.

"He has quick feet and he knows what he's doing out there," Morales told The Reading Eagle of DeLucia that July. "He's definitely the best fielding relief pitcher in the Eastern League."

By 1994, he was hitting coach at rookie Ogden. He continued as a hitting coach at various places nearly straight through 2005. He's most recently recorded as a scout for the Orioles.
